Self-Rising Flour
Self-rising flour is simply all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt already whisked in — the secret behind feather-light Southern biscuits, tender scones, and lofty pancakes. Blending your own takes five minutes, costs less than the boxed version, and lets you control freshness, which matters because the leavener is what gives your bakes their lift. Sifting the mix twice distributes the baking powder evenly, so every scoop rises exactly the same way.
